Now that the summer’s over, there’re still a few things for me to finish up with regard to my project. While the tool’s core functionality is implemented, it still lacks a few features to make it fully usable, such as a dialog for setting options like how many topics to generate. Additionally, I plan to implement a system overview visualization which will present all of the classes in a project, colored according to the topic that they belong to. This view will make use of a tree map like the single topic view, but will visualize the distribution of topics over all of the system’s classes.

Finally, once my plugin is polished, I’ll also be working on a paper introducing the tool to submit to conferences early next year. Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read about my research; if you happen to have any questions, I’ll certainly do my best to illuminate things if you post a comment or send me an email.
